  1. The original story is here... on Crunching the Numbers on a Hydrogen Economy · · Score: 1

    I hear citing where you get something is a good idea...

    http://www.abc.net.au/foreign/stories/s949324.htm

    Page is off for the moment, but was online earlier.

  2. Re:How is Duo Coro faster? on What Went Wrong for AMD's AM2? · · Score: 1

    Obviously something is wrong, as there is no way the AMD is even close to as fast as thta E6600. Also, it doesn't need much cooling, I have one and it was only like 32C with the stock fan (which is also quiet).

  3. Re:Soda vending machine on Motorola Unveils Phone Vending Machines · · Score: 1

    The hospital I work at in the US has had these vending machines for quite a while now, so it isn't a German phenomenon. :)

  4. Re:Who pays the bills? on The Engine of US Jobs · · Score: 1

    Some Health Care systems let you use their hospitals for free if you work for them, so it works out in the end. ;)

  5. Re:Don't worry too much about CoD2 on Intel's Quad Core CPU Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Plus, that bug was just with AMD Dual Core CPUs. It doesn't exhibit these problems on Intel ones (I know, since a Pentium D 830 system I played the game on was fine).

  6. wtf on 'Stargate: SG-1' Cancelled · · Score: 1

    What is it with 3 misogynist posts now anyway?

  7. Why? on Tech Replaces Diamonds As Girl's Best Friend · · Score: 1

    Why do less women have to troubleshoot their computers than men, seriously? I've not noticed much of a difference where I work (in health care). We aren't stupid you know.

  8. Re:Insightful? on Tech Replaces Diamonds As Girl's Best Friend · · Score: 1

    I was thinking wtf myself. Misogyny seems just as high on an IT forum as anywhere elset hoguh.

  9. I thought it wasn't useful on Microsoft's Security Meeting Causes Unease · · Score: 1

    Ok, this is due to me not looking into it much prior, perhaps.

    But I went to the Chicago one this year, and it was utterly useless. All it came across to me was an extended sales pitch for their products. Perhaps I should have expected more, but it really didn't get in to any real technical details. You just went to some room and some half-techie guy talked about a specific product. It would have been a lot more useful if they'd discussed real issues, etc.

  10. Doesn't help me on High-level Languages and Speed · · Score: 1

    I found low-level languages work better with speed. I get too confused with a higher-level one when I use it. :(

  11. No, it is for birds... on Indian Scientists Develop Vaccine for Bird Flu · · Score: 2, Informative

    The article above is missing the specifics, so try this one:
    http://www.mumbaimirror.com/nmirror/mmpaper.asp?se ctid=4&articleid=7162006205183757162006204743859

    "The vaccine will be injected into birds to prevent them from getting infected, he said.
    A government statement said it was a homologous vaccine derived from the H5N1 strain."

    The point of it is to stop it in birds, so it can't get on to humans I imagine.

  12. Re:64-bit benchmarks? on Intel's Core 2 Desktop Processors Tested · · Score: 1

    These are woodcrest benchmarks, which is at least similar. Also using 64 bit windows...

  13. Why does she use her thumb? on Input Solutions for Repetitive Stress Victims? · · Score: 1

    Serious question...

    I just have some old Intellimouse Explorer at work and I never use my mouse. The hand just rests on top and the thumb sits on the side and doesn't grip or anything.

  14. Re:Betcha the Mac client will lag by several years on Microsoft, Yahoo Finally Merge IM Networks · · Score: 1

    Try the beta of 3, unless you think it also sucks...

  16. Re:No same-sex biological children from this proce on Mice Produced Using Artificial Sperm · · Score: 1

    Well, women have similar stem cells, so it's no problem.

    Also, two men could have their gametes mixed to make a girl... I mean, men have one X chromosome. They'd just each be donating an X...and obviously for making a male child, only one male's Y chromosome would get used. Two females could only make another female, of course.

  17. Re:Or perhaps Heather has one Parent. on Mice Produced Using Artificial Sperm · · Score: 1

    Well, assuming crossing over and other events occur even in this case, the child wouldn't be a clone... Probably be very similar, though.

  18. Re:pretty unfair... on Google Fires Off Warning to US Telcos · · Score: 2, Informative

    LOL.

    I guess the mods are on crack. The OP is making fun of Ted Stevens. Funny, yes, but not informative. :)

  19. WPA works for me on Nerds Switching from Apple to Ubuntu? · · Score: 1

    It just worked out of the box for me. WPA-PSK with AES off some cheapo linksys 802.11g bridge.

    Now, I find all the rough edges annoying in Linux, but at least it all works so far in my experience. :) There were some WPA issues earlier, but the gnome-network-manager stuff fixed them for me (they are default now, right?).

  20. Insensitive clod on MacBook Users Fix Trackpad Problem with Origami Paper · · Score: 1

    I use a different motion, you insensitive clod!

  21. Oxford even better on Speeding up Firewire File Transfers? · · Score: 1

    Oxford 911 or 911+ seem to work the best in my experience (and even more so if you ever have to use OS X).

  22. Is that... on Laptop Explodes at Japanese Conference · · Score: 1

    A burning laptop on your lap, or are you just hot for me?

  23. Re:On the other hand on Apple Offers Solution to IT Roadmap Complaints · · Score: 1

    Or was it closed due to bits of it needing to interface with Rosetta? Rosetta isn't exactly open...

  24. He doesn't hold all life sacred in the old testame on Harvard Scientists to Clone Human Embryos · · Score: 1

    So, you personally ignore all of what G-d does in the Old Testament then I imagine? He sure does a lot of killing in it.
